Cleaning The Drain Pump Filter (Some Models Only); Caution On Freezing During Winter - LG WTG9032WF Owner's Manual

Cleaning the Drain Pump
Filter (some models only)
• The drain filter collects threads and small
objects left in the laundry. Check regularly that
the filter is clean to ensure smooth running of
your washing machine.
• Empty all the water from the tub by running a
spin only cycle for a few minutes then unplug
the machine off from the power outlet socket.
1
Turn the cap on the rear of the machine
counter-clockwise and pull it out. There will
be some residual water remaining in the
drain hose that will pour out. Prepare an old
towel for this purpose.
2
Remove any foreign objects and fluff inside
pump casing and from the filter.
3
Replace the cap. Insert the filter along the
guide ribs inside the pump casing. Ensure
the Filter faces the guide ribs inside the
pump casing when reinserting, and then
firmly turn the cap clockwise by hand to
close it.
